Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.
Project Genie is an an experimental research prototype that Google gave @jaypeters.net access to this week, though he may not be using it in exactly the way Google intended.

I've long had the pitch of 'Cheers in a modern metal/goth bar and it's EXACTLY as tragi-comic, but as political/queer as it'd have to be'.
I wrote a pilot and had a three-season (22 ep per season) outline at some point five years ago.
It's called 'Coalition' (if you're from Toronto, you know).

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

It is mind-numbing how some people seem to firmly believe that nsfw artists don't have any right to speak about anything outside of their lane. God forbid I express the mildest of political takes like "child abuse bad"

Dragon Age games lack agency, and that's the whole point

Why I’m launching a feminist video games website in 2026
I’ve been a games journalist since 2007, but still there isn’t much video games coverage that feels like it’s specifically for people like me. So I’m creating a home for it: Mothership

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
